Freedom From Painful Emotions

Intro Class NEW SERIES: Wednesdays 7–8:30pm

Buddhist teachings explain that our suffering comes about due to uncontrolled and painful states of mind known as delusions. Each week we will focus on how to overcome a particular delusion, such as loneliness, anger, pride, miserliness, and low self esteem. Learning practical methods to reduce the power of this inner negativity will allow us to experience a deep and satisfying emotional freedom, and give us the skill to be the person we wish to be - positive, joyful, confident and loving.

Benefits of Meditation

Our meditation classes provide practical advice on how to apply Buddha’s wisdom to our daily activities. Through taking this advice to heart in the context of our family and work commitments, we discover they are unsurpassed methods to resolve daily challenges and problems.

By using meditation and gradually integrating these determinations, we can make positive changes in our life that will bring many benefits for both ourselves and those around us. We will find greater meaning in our daily life, our happiness will increase, and we will come to experience a lasting inner peace.

Transform Your Life

Normally we seek happiness outside ourself. We try to obtain better material conditions, a better job, higher social status and so forth. But no matter how successful we are in improving our external situation, we still experience many problems and much dissatisfaction. We never experience pure, lasting happiness. This shows us that we should not seek happiness outside ourself but instead establish it within by purifying and controlling our mind through sincere spiritual practice. If we train in this way we can ensure that our mind remains calm, reduce stress, experience inner peace and be happy all the time. Then, no matter how difficult our external circumstances may be, we will always be happy and peaceful.
